Existing Ticket Updates

ID	Title	Action	Rationale
#301	Wiki taxonomy and structure — full future-ready schema	Update description — workshop produced concrete taxonomy rules (Tyre R2 §5, Miri canonical_id). Assign to copy team.	Workshop directly addresses this ticket's scope.
#319	Krenn System wiki entry — first star system	Update description — Miri delivered Krenn System brief in workshop (Round 1+2). Assign to copy team. Will be fulfilled by new ticket for cultural-groups file.	Miri's brief supersedes the original scope.
#368	Knowledge vocabulary for v0.1 content (#309)	Mark done — the wiki at wiki/ is the output. Currently in_progress.	Workshop is the review of #368's output.
#261	Dual Lens Authoring Guide	No change — still blocking. Workshop confirms its importance. Assign to copy team when ready.	Workshop style guide work complements but doesn't replace #261.

Structure per Mellanie R2 §2 TOC: Part 1 (tier templates — Paula), Part 2 (authoring rules — Mellanie conventions, Gestalt constraints, Ozzie anchor line), Part 3 (regional culture — Miri), Part 4 (content pipeline — Tyre). Includes per-tier validation checklists, tag usage rules, mechanical constraints, voice discipline. This is the repeatable "if someone new joins, they can produce consistent content" deliverable. Source: all Round 2 agents.

B2. THE MIRROR pattern spec / Hael elevation

• Type: story
• Priority: high
• Team: copy
• Parent: workshop epic
• Description: Define the honest-character NPC archetype. Gore proposes THE MIRROR (new pattern, 50-70 lines, no secret/tell/contradiction). Paula proposes Tier 1.5 (Production Emotional NPC — same depth, different name). Ozzie proposes enhanced Tier 2 (+15-20 lines). All agree: no contradiction arc, Tier 1 emotional depth, Hael (now Naia) is first instance. Project lead to decide formal pattern vs enhanced Tier 2. Output: template spec + Naia elevation to chosen depth. Source: Gore R2 §4, Paula R2 §4, Ozzie R2 §1. Blocks: Naia content authoring.

B4. Smuggler voice card + moral arc spec

• Type: story
• Priority: high
• Team: copy
• Parent: workshop epic

Thinks in people vs data, first names vs surnames, fragments vs complete sentences, Krenn substrate vocabulary. (2) Smuggler moral arc — 4 phases (Comfort→Doubt→Reckoning→Compromise), smuggler-specific FactIds (operations.cover_integrity, operations.personnel_stability, operations.institutional_pressure, operations.moral_weight, operations.exit_cost), monologue triggers (sense_atmosphere_shift, witness_exposure_risk, observe_loyalty_fracture, feel_complicity_deepen, recognize_no_exit, read_the_room). Source: Gore R2 §3, Paula R2 §1, Mellanie R2 §3.

B5. NPC-format briefs for both PCs — Concept A v0.1

• Type: story
• Priority: high
• Team: copy
• Parent: workshop epic
• Description: When you play the smuggler, the detective exists as an NPC. When you play the detective, the smuggler exists as an NPC. Create NPC-mode behavior scripts for both PCs (5-7 routine entries each), reverse dual-lens notes (how each NPC sees the other PC), observation monologue for PC seeing other-PC-as-NPC (3-5 lines per character, ~20-30 authored items total). The second-playthrough wow moment depends on this. Source: Nigel R2 §4, Ozzie R2.

• Priority: high

Informs all implementation tickets.

C2. Create content/ directory skeleton

Empty YAML stubs with comments. Source: Tyre R2 §1.
• Blocked by: C1

C3. Content schema definitions (YAML Schema files)

Source: Tyre R2 §3.
• Blocked by: C3

C10. Pre-commit FactId typo check

• Type: task

D. Design Specs

D1. cultural_gate modifier for dialogue access — design doc

• Type: story
• Priority: medium
• Team: copy
• Parent: workshop epic
• Description: Design the cultural_gate modifier that adjusts dialogue disclosure based on cultural insider/outsider status, independent of relationship state. Krenn culture reduces disclosure to outsiders (detective) regardless of trust level. Not a new access tier — a modifier on existing tiers. Needs mechanical spec from Gestalt + feasibility from Tyre. Source: Gore R2 §2.

D2. Seed configuration schema design

• Type: story
• Priority: medium
• Team: server
• Description: Design the seed configuration schema — what the randomizer produces at game-start. Records: FRIEND selections, social site population, compromised NPC, contraband type, entanglement overrides. Saved with game state. Constrained by D-029 ratio (30/50/20). Location: runtime/ (not content/). Source: Nigel R2 §2+§4-6, Tyre R2 §2.

D3. Secondary contraband variant FactId text

• Type: task
• Priority: low
• Team: copy
• Parent: workshop epic
• Description: Write variant KnowsDetails text for contraband.secondary_cargo FactId: medical-grade replacements, severance equipment, enhanced capability mods. Primary contraband (lattice components) is fixed per district. Secondary varies per seed. Source: Nigel R2 §3.

D4. News ticker headline pool

• Type: task
• Priority: low
• Team: copy
• Parent: workshop epic
• Description: Write 40-50 news ticker headlines for the Meridian feed at Lera's. Mix of: freight/commodity data, Assembly politics, local infrastructure, sports, Commission advisories. Randomizer selects 15-20 per seed. Each headline should work as a dual-lens trigger. Source: Nigel R2 §4, Mellanie R2 §1 (7 examples delivered).
